Song For Chapter: Libertine and Estelle Beneath Your Beautiful
Siena P.O.V
I was still trying to process what happened today from what happened in Richmond to coming back to Mystic Falls, and finding out that Stefan was stuck in the tomb with the she devil. Everything was mind blowing, I didn't ever expecting coming to Mystic Falls I would be mixed up in all of this. I mean if I spoke to anyone about everything that's happened, that vampires, werewolves and witches were real they would admit me in some psych ward. At times I feel like I am in some kind of dream and any moment I will wake up back in New York, I guess that's me trying to get to grips with the reality I was living in. My concerns right now was for Elena, with Stefan being stuck in the tomb I knew she was going to take it pretty badly, I wanted to go and see her, but Damon suggested that she would need some time alone. I wanted to protest but deep down I knew he was right, something like this she would need time alone to absorb it all in.
Damon dropped me off at my hotel that night not a lot was said between us, I just thanked for dropping me home. I didn't know what was going on between us, but whatever it was it wasn't top priority right now. What I needed to be concerned about right now was Elena and how she was dealing with all this, not forgetting about finding a way to get to Klaus, as our chances were blown by Elijah. I entered into my room and headed straight for my bed, I looked up at the ceiling while having a million thoughts running through my mind, each and every one of them ending up with questions I couldn't answer. I tried to fall asleep but the thought in my mind wouldn't let me, I needed to speak to someone, I didn't want to call Elena as I knew she was going to be upset about Stefan. Then there was Damon I could call but things are already far too complicated between us right now. I can't let him back in my life that easy even as much as I want to I can't just forgive him not after what he did. I know he tried to justify himself and part of me can understand, but as they say once a cheat always a cheat.
I needed to have a normal conversation that didn't involve anything that been going on here, I knew just the person that will keep my mind off all my worries. I sat up and grabbed my phone from the side, I scrolled down my contacts and found my Blair number. I knew she was more into the whole facetiming but I knew if she saw me she would know something was up, at least over the phone I could pretend to sound like I'm having a total blast. I pressed the call button and within a few rings Blair picked up the phone.
"So you didn't lose my number?" Blair spoke in her teasing manner, but I knew she was a little annoyed with me because I hadn't kept in contact with her since being here.
"I'm sorry it's just—" I began to justify my actions but I was soon cut off by her.
"Siena I'm just teasing." I heard her giggling down the phone, which brought a smile to my face, this always happens when I'm speaking to Blair. "I'm missing my BFF, when are you come back to the big apple?" These were questions I expected from her, and I was just missing her just as much, but I had no idea when I would be going back him, actually I don't know if I would ever be going back with this Klaus situation of him wanting me. I couldn't endanger my family and friends by being there.
"I've missed you too." Which I did, right now I could do with one of those crazy girls night we would have that would always lead me to regretting it in the morning. "I'm not coming home any time soon, I'm still getting to know Elena." I was telling her partly the truth, I couldn't walk away from Elena after everything I had learnt, with more and more vampires knowing about the both of us it wouldn't be safe for me to go back to the city.
"Maybe I should take a trip down there—" As soon as Blair mention about coming here I felt my heart stop for a moment, this place was like a beacon for supernatural being. "- I'm sure there must be hot guys in that little town." How was I going to put this to her without hurting her feelings? Of course I would like everyone here to meet Blair, she would fit in and get on with all of them, but that supernatural part of all this might just freak her out, and that something I don't want.
"I would love you come here, but it's just that I'm trying to focus on getting to know Elena better we been apart for so many years. It's not that—" I felt flooded with guilt because more than anything I wanted Blair and Elena to get to know one another. Blair was like a sister to me, we grew up playing Barbie's together, every significant point in my life she has been there.
"I get it Siena, sisterly bonding time. You really don't need to explain yourself." Blair was really understanding, but I was worried that she might have took it all the wrong way. I guess since being here I've forgotten about what she was like, she wasn't one to push and knew in the right time she would meet Elena. "So tell me is there any hot guys that have caught the eye of Miss Siena Russo?" Blair would always refer me to the third person when it came to guys, I wasn't sure if I should tell about Damon. What could I really tell her? I met this amazing guy that I connected with on so many levels, that he is a vampire and he cheated on me. I don't think I'll be telling her that story knowing Blair she would get on the first flight here to attempt to kick Damon ass, that something I do not want.
"No one has caught my eye." It was a totally lie but it was better than telling her the truth, what could I really tell Blair about what's happened since being here without it all sounding crazy.
"Liar…" Blair teased before bursting into laughter. "So Siena, what's his name?" Was I that transparent even down the phone? How did she know that I was into someone from here? I guess my acting skills on the phone was pretty terrible.
"How did you interpret that no one caught my eye, to I have my eye on a guy here?" I wanted to get off this subject but something told me that Blair wasn't going to drop this subject until I fess up.
"I'm your best-friend I know when you covering something up. So spill. Tell me everything about him." What's stopping me from telling her about Damon, I mean there was other things I could tell her without giving away he is a vampire and a cheater. I'll just give her basics and not tell her that I slept with him, that we just friends and I think his cute, she will buy that.
"His name Da-Da—Damon Salvatore—" I couldn't believe I stumble his name like that, I felt my cheeks heat up because I instantly knew that Blair know I had major crush on him.
"So his Italian? Well his own brownie points already with your parents." I didn't even know if Damon was Italian? Blair was right my parents would be happy, they always spoke about me settling with a nice Italian boy, I don't think Damon would be on that list considering of what he is.
"He never mention that he was. His 24, it's just him and his brother Stefan, their parents passed away a few years back." A few years, it was more like a century and half ago, god I hated lying to her but this was for the best. "Damon looking out for Stefan while his in school, his dating Elena." I thought I better add that he was dating Elena, knowing Blair she would of asked for a double date or something.
"He sounds like a decent guy." I guess he did sound like that with the way I was painting this picture to her, I wasn't lying about him looking out for his brother. I know that there was tension between the both of them, but after what I witness tonight with Damon assuring Stefan he would get him out of the tomb it showed regardless of what happened in the past they were brothers that didn't give up on one another. "So what does he look like? His gotta be better than that jerk Nic." Blair hated Nic with a passion especially after everything that happened. Was Damon better than Nic? In some ways he was but he did the same to me as what Nic did, so really they were both as bad as each other.
"His tall, I would say his about 6'2, and he has gorgeous dark brown hair close to black more than anything, his quite pale, but not like he looks ill or anything, he has a beautiful complexion." I really wasn't painting out Damon to be a looker, but how can you describe perfection? "His eyes are to die for Blair, their like crystal blue you can literally lose yourself in them." Which was true I felt myself lost in them on a few occasion like I was under hypnotic state or something.
"Siena it sounds like you have a major crush on this guy. What does he think about you? Have you guys been on a date yet?" I should of just insisted that there wasn't anyone, cause now she going to keep going until she gets the juicy parts.
"He has told me he kind of likes me, we haven't gone on a date but we been at the local hang out together, playing pool and stuff." Which was the truth I'm not going to tell Blair that I slept with him, because then she will see it being something more.
"I'm sure with your charm Siena you guys will be dating soon." Only if she knew that the ship had sunk already. "You should bring him to your parents fund raiser next week, and bring Elena too, we would all love to meet her." I totally forgot about the fund raiser, I know if I didn't show my parents would be disappointed, maybe I should bring Elena. Show her the great sites of New York, Damon was certainly going to be a no, no, it would be easy to make up an excuse for why he couldn't make it.
"Dating? I don't know about that, but Elena and I will defiantly be coming." A few day of my normal life of New York might actually help, and it would probably help Elena too to keep her mind off with what's going on.
"I'll let you go you, sound tired." She was right I was getting sleepy now, I think speaking to Blair did the trick as everything I was worry about before kind of faded away.
After my call to Blair I pretty much instantly fell asleep, I woke up felling refreshed I think it had a lot to do with the conversation with Blair last night. To have a normal conversation without the mention of someone life being endanger was kind of refreshing. I looked at my phone to see the time and it was 8am, a part of me wanted to continue snoozing but I couldn't stay in bed all day. I needed to go and check on Elena, she was in a state and I wasn't going to avoid her, I didn't care if she needed space I wanted to just make sure she was okay. I got up from the bed and my phone beeped I looked at the screen to see that I had a message from Elena to my surprise.
Elena: Hey Siena can you come over today? I can't stop thinking about Stefan been stuck in that tomb with Katherine xx
I was touched by her message that she reached out to me, Elena was going through hard time right now, and I wanted to be there for her.
Siena: Hey Elena of course I'll come over, I've just woken up I'll be over in about an hour xx
I don't think it was going to be easy to distract Elena from worrying about Stefan, but I had to try and keep her occupied at least. I saw that I had another message and it was from Damon, I felt my heart race for a moment as I was little worried what it was going to say. It couldn't be that bad, I mean we kind of left things on semi-good terms.
Damon: Hey Siena I'm just texting to see you're ok. I know things got heated between us yesterday but I just want to say sorry for that. I just want you to understand don't want anything to happen to you. I really hope you understand that xx
I don't get Damon at time he can be so loving pouring his heart out, then the next his shouting at me because I'm not following his rules. It was so confusing and maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt about all this.
Siena: I'm doing okay considering. You don't need to apologies we are both hot headed it can't be helped. I do understand where you coming from honestly I do Damon. What's sad you don't see where I'm coming from, and the truth of the matter is that I don't think we will ever agree about this situation x
That what all this boiled down to, we would never be on the same page about all this, Damon wanted to save me while I'm trying to save him. I put my phone down and went and had a long shower it was needed, I even began to cry I can't tell you the reason why I was crying but I just needed to let it out. I got out and wrapped a towel around me and went back into my bedroom; I went into my closet and pulled out a pair of gold shorts, blush pink chiffon shirt, and black blazer. I placed it all on the bed I went to my dresser and put my underwear on, I began to dry my hair then curled the ends I applied my make then went over to my bed and got changed. I went and got my shoes a pair of Jimmy choo high heels in Blush pink to match my shirt. I got my purse grabbed my phone and began to walked out of my room. While I was waiting for the elevator and I had a new message I went to check who it was and it was Damon.
Damon: Siena your right, we are both hot headed but that is what I love about you, that you're not a person who backs down, and this Klaus problem… Your right we don't agree right now. But I want to understand your point, but I can't. All you're doing is giving up, and that not the Siena I thought I knew. You say you're trying to protect the people you love. Well that what I'm doing. I'm protecting you from doing something STUPID because I LOVE YOU Siena.
I didn't even want to answer that message as it's clear that Damon and I were going round in circles. I got out of the elevator and went over to my car and began to drive to Elena house. When I got there I parked up and walked up to the door and knocked. Jenna opened the door and she had a smile on her face, she looked a hell of a lot better than the last time I saw her.
"Siena it's lovely to see you, come in." I smiled back I really liked Jenna she was always so nice to me, one thing I couldn't wrap around in my mind is how she didn't know about all this stuff going on with vampires.
"It's great to see you too Jenna, how have you been?" I spoke as I walked into the house, I loved this place it was so homely, and filled with so many memories of Elena and Jeremy growing up.
"Really good, things are great with Ric, how about you? I heard you and Damon are item... By the way I love your shoes" I guess Ric was the one to tell her that, he obviously didn't update her with the fact that we were no longer together.
"I'm really happy to hear you and Ric are doing well. I'm just trying to get to know Elena more getting used to being in a small town it's different from living in a big city. Me and Damon are on hold at moment, and thanks they Jimmy choo." I could see that Jenna was about to question me about Damon which is something I didn't want to discuss right now. "Is Elena about?" Jenna was still trying to take in everything I had said, I could see the confusion written all over her face.
"Yeah she up in her room with Bonnie." I smile and headed upstairs I knocked lightly on the door as I didn't want to just barge in.
"Come in" I heard Elena say, as I walked in I saw Elena and Bonnie were on the bed they both smiled at me, but even though they both smiled they looked a little stressed out. "Siena you look pretty." I didn't think I actually made any effort today, but it was nice to receive a compliment. I walked over and sat on the window ledge Bonnie smiled at me while Elena was looking down at the moonstone. "Now that you've got this back, what are you gonna do with it?" What were they doing with it now? Stefan had sacrificed himself so we had it, so what the deal? I'm guessing still take the magic away which is something I couldn't let happen, cause if Klaus finds out they are all good as dead.
"Right now, it's what is binding the Sun and the Moon Curse. If I can figure out a way to remove the spell from the stone, the stone becomes useless." Just as I thought Bonnie was still going to be the one to dispel it, I had to figure out a way to get that stone and stop her from doing that.
"And according to Katherine, Klaus becomes vengeful." I told her they both looked at me I was just stating fact's, where they that stupid not to take that into consideration? This guy was like some big bad and they honestly think that his just going to be okay with this?
"Maybe! If he finds out." Bonnie really thinks that he won't find out? This guy had spies everywhere and she thinks they get away with this. Personally I think getting Stefan was far more important than this stupid stone that will lead to all of their deaths.
"Bonnie, can't this wait? Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine we've got to get him out." As soon as I mention Stefan, Elena face sadden. While Bonnie pressed her lips ready to fire back that the moonstone was more important.
"Stefan wants me to focus on this." Stefan was playing hero and clearly not sane in mind right now, as friends we should be finding a way to get him out. Where the loyalty?
"Don't listen to him. He thinks that he's protecting me, but he's wrong." Elena remembering me saying they were signing their own death sentence doing this, I wasn't lying that's exactly what they were doing if they went ahead.
"I'm taking Stefan's side with this one we're not gonna let you get used in some creepy sacrifice ritual." Bonnie spoke sternly as Jeremy walks into the room, Bonnie takes the stone from Elena's hand. What was up with these guys? What didn't they understand about them doing this will lead to the death of each and every one of them.
"What are you guys arguing about?" Jeremy obviously wasn't clued up with the game plan that was a totally stupid one I might add.
"We're not arguing about anything." Bonnie spoke puts the stone in her bag and looks at Jeremy, I glance at Elena who looked totally hopeless right now. "I need a coffee." She gets up and leaves, I'm sure something going on with them two. Jeremy looked at the both of us with disappointment in his eyes, not something I was liking right now.
"What?" Elena said in a raised voice, I guess she was tired of all this as much as I was, why couldn't they all just see it from our point of view.
"Why are you both on some suicide mission?" Did we have to explain this a million times to everyone? Why couldn't they just understand that we were doing this for them. To keep all of them safe, I didn't just have people in Mystic falls to worry about but people I cared about back home.
"We are trying to prevent everyone else from getting hurt." Why was it okay for them to protect us but not for us to protect them? This was like smacking our heads against a brick wall, pretty much like how it is with Damon.
"Oh so, bringing Klaus the moonstone so you both can get yourself killed is okay?" He shakes his head as he leaves the room. There was one way to stop all this and that was to take the moonstone, I looked at Elena who seems upset by all this. I got up and went over to Bonnie purse and took out the moonstone, I put my finger to my lips to indicate to her not to talk. She nodded, I think Elena was on the same wave length. We both hurried down the stairs I got my car keys in my hand ready to go.
"Where are you going?" we heard Bonnie voice from behind us, we both turned around to face her as she stood there with her brow arched.
"Um, to see Stefan." Elena replied weakly great now I know Elena not good at lying, that wasn't convincing in the slightest.
"You're lying." Bonnie spoke coming closer to where we both were standing, right now we didn't need this, and we needed to get the hell out of here.
"No, I'm not." Elena spoke little more confidence, but there was no point because from the look on Bonnie face she wasn't convinced.
"Really? Tell your face." Bonnie really wasn't fooled, great we are so caught. I could just walk away from all this but I couldn't leave Elena behind.
"Are you serious?" Elena spoke with disbelief, as she did Jeremy came down the stairs with Bonnie bag in his hand.
"They took the moonstone." He spoke looking at the both with that face of disappointed once again, how did he know?
"How did you...?" I began to say but was cut off in mid-sentence by Bonnie.
"We tested you both, and you failed." Now it's come down to them testing us? Was this really happening right now? Maybe the both of them need a reality check of what will happen if they go ahead about this.
"Klaus killed Katherine's entire family just because she crossed him. Elena and I can't let that happen." Bonnie lets us leave, I looked at her mildly confused as we both walks down the stairs, was it that easy? I opened the door to leave, I banged into something, it was like an invisible barrier prevents me to leave. Elena was trying to go out of the door and she couldn't get through either. We were trapped in this house. I turned around and looks at them as they stood there looking a little pleased with themselves. "What did you do?" I demanded looking at the both of them.
"It's for the best, Siena." Bonnie looks at Jeremy smiling, yes defiantly something going on with the both of them. I turned to see Elena trying to break the barrier but it was not point, we were trapped. This I was beyond stupid I didn't want to be stuck in here all day, but it looked like I was and, to say I'm really not happy about it would be understatement.
Damon P.O.V
Who the hell were we kidding thinking grabbing the moonstone from Katherine was going to be an easy task? Of course everything was going to mess up and it's down to little Gilbert wanting to play hero, now my brother stuck in the tomb with the evil one. Katherine better thank her lucky stars that it's Stefan than me because if I was in there Katherine would be dead. Then I had the suicide sister who were willing to do whatever it took to get Klaus attention, I don't know what they were thinking but I'm glad I turned up when I did. Of course Elena took to Stefan being stuck in the tomb with Katherine, Siena wanted to check on her, but I advise otherwise. Siena didn't know Elena too well and with her being upset she might say or do something stupid, and Siena would go along for the ride. Siena didn't argue with me about it to my surprise, I think she was still shaken up with everything that had witness today.
When I dropped Siena off at her hotel no words were spoken between us, I didn't know what to say to her after what happened in Richmond. Did I regret how I acted towards her? Part of me did because I didn't like being aggressive towards her, but Siena was stubborn and she was on a mission on getting herself killed along with Elena. So I knew because of my actions I didn't win any brownie points, but sometimes I had to play the villain to get results. When I arrived back home I kept thinking about everything that happened and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. So typical Damon fashion I consumed a couple of bottle bourbon until I passed out. When I woke up the first person on my mind was Siena, I felt unsettle with the way things were left between us. So I thought I would try and explain myself through a message, maybe seeing it in black and white she might understand my actions.
Damon: Hey Siena I'm just texting to see you're ok. I know things got heated between us yesterday but I just want to say sorry for that. I just want you to understand don't want anything to happen to you. I really hope you understand that xx
I know Damon Salvatore apologising, it's very not like me, but this is Siena we are talking about. I'm in love with her, I don't want keep pushing her further away. Trying to win her back was going to be my mission, I don't know if my methods would work, but if I didn't put my best effort into getting her back what would that say about me? I went to get showered and ready for the day ahead something tells me it's going to be one of those days. I grabbed my phone and I saw that I had a message from Siena.
Bella: I'm doing okay considering. You don't need to apologies we are both hot headed it can't be helped. I do understand where you coming from honestly I do Damon. What's sad you don't see where I'm coming from, and the truth of the matter is that I don't think we will ever agree about this situation x
Siena Russo is literally driving me crazy, I did understand her reasons but her reason, and they are. Like just handing herself over to Klaus to protect the ones she loves, but that what I'm doing I'm protecting her because I loved her. I needed a drink before I responded back to that, I made my way downstairs into the parlour and poured myself a glass of blood. My plan for the day was to go and see Stefan, I needed to bring him a few things so he would survive staying in that tomb. I can't let him be down there dealing with Katherine so maybe a few books, change of clothes and some bunny blood. I began to pack the stuff for him I looked at my phone, I knew I needed to reply to her last message, I was going to get what I thought off my chest.
Damon: Siena your right, we are both hot headed but that is what I love about you, that you're not a person who backs down, and this Klaus problem… Your right we don't agree right now. But I want to understand your point, but I can't. All you're doing is giving up, and that not the Siena I thought I knew. You say you're trying to protect the people you love. Well that what I'm doing. I'm protecting you from doing something STUPID because I LOVE YOU Siena.
I don't know if she going to be mad with me after that but I felt hell of lot better after saying my piece, I'm really putting my feeling out to her. If some of the people who have known me over the last 146 years saw me now they would be questioning if I'm actually 'Damon Salvatore' the bad ass who don't give a damn about anyone. I had a call from Bonnie telling me that she was heading to Elena's, that Siena was coming over too, so I suggested that we test them with the moonstone to see if either of them would do something stupid. Those girls would more than likely do something like attempt to take the moonstone, and try and contact Klaus. My suggestion was if they did Bonnie was to use her witchy powers to keep the both of them locked in the house, I knew neither of them would be happy about it, but it's the only way to stop them. Maybe we didn't need to go to those extremes… hell who am I kidding of course they will go for the bate.
I grabbed my keys and picked up Stefan bag of things and headed to the car and drove to Fells church ruins, it didn't take Bonnie long to call back as Siena tried to take the moonstone. Bonnie placed the spell on the house so Elena and Siena can't leave, kind of like the tomb spell. I knew that they were still on a mission, I began to chuckle at the thought of their faces when they learnt they couldn't leave. I bet Elena didn't take the news well and Siena probably screaming the house down, I better pay them a visit once I'm done with giving the hero his care package. When I arrived at the ruins I made my way down stairs I walked up to the entrance of the tomb, I could see Stefan approaching with not so pleased look upon his face. Well he wanted to martyr himself by being here, I thought to cheer him up I would tell him about the girls being house bound.
"They are trapped in Elena house?" Stefan sounded impressed which is a first, he tends not to like my plans, but then again it was a way to keep Elena safe so of course he liked it.
"It's for the best. Trust me Siena and Elena are on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hits. You should be glad the witch and I are even getting along. I brought you this." I handed him the bag of treats I packed for him, it was the least I could do for him. "Care package: candles, lanterns and lunch" I shook the bottle of bunny blood, I really don't know how the hell he could survive on this stuff, but as they say each to their own.
"Give that to me, and I'm just gonna have to share it with her." I glanced over Stefan should to see Katherine, who was standing not too far away with her typical smirk thinking she got one over on us.
"Yeah..." I placed the bottle of blood on the ground and passed him the bag, I didn't want Katherine to gain her strength, but I didn't want Stefan to suffer. This just gave me more ammo to get him out of here, I'm not going to let him desiccate down here.
"You two are surprisingly calm, considering Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan." I think the first person Klaus will be dealing with is Katherine, she had been on the run for 500 years, and I'm sure if she could out run him then we were totally safe.
"I've been dead before. I got over it." I wanted to keep the interaction between her and I to a minimum, I looked over at Stefan who was brooding more than usual which was understandable right now. "Once we deal with this moonstone, we'll figure a way to get you out." I didn't want Stefan to be stuck in here, I know we argue, but his my brother, his blood there no way I will leave him rotting down here.
"Don't worry about me. Just make sure Elena's safe." Stefan always playing hero, but I had to respect his wishes and keep her safe, I think she and her sister won't be causing too much trouble today.
I left the tomb and began to make my way to Elena's, this was going to be fun seeing the girls sitting there pouting unable to anything. I got there and parked the car, I got out and began to approach the house 'Damon don't laugh in front of them' I told myself. I opened the door walked into the living room, first I thing I saw was Elena was on one couch pouting. While on the other couch was Siena looking as beautiful as ever, but looking mad as hell, god she looked so sexy when she pouted.
"You should really lock your door." Elena shot a look at me, obviously she wasn't impressed with me right now, and did I care? Nope I didn't, this was the only way we could keep an eye on them. "Oh, come on, pouty. At least give me two points for ingenuity." I looked at both of them they actually looked unimpressed, but I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I knew their every move before they did.
"Do you think this is funny?" Siena really wasn't liking being on lock down, but this was essential, the both of them had proven they couldn't be trusted with their actions.
"Yes Siena. I find hilarity in the lengths that I have to go to repeatedly save your life." For a moment I saw hurt in her eyes, I didn't say that to hurt her feelings. I swear I have foot in mouth syndrome when it came to her.
"What does Stefan say about this?" Elena questioned, what did she think that he wouldn't have liked the idea? Well my baby bro love the idea, anything to keep his precious Elena safe he was always for rather than against.
"We had a good laugh." Elena face harden as she didn't like the fact that Stefan and I had a good joke about it, but none of this was funny. We were doing this to keep them from doing anything stupid, and in time the both of them will understand why we went to these measures.
"And what did he say about Elijah still being alive?" Of course she had to bring that one up, if I told Stefan that Elijah the un-killable vampire was still around he would along gain another frown line. I sat down next to Siena on the sofa, putting my arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah, that... I didn't tell him." I said looking directly at Elena, I notice Siena heart was accelerating as I touched her, it wasn't out of fear I knew that. It was something I notice that she did when we close to one another, knowing I could still make her heart race like that brought a smile to my face.
"Why not?" Siena asked as she turned her head so she was looking into my eyes, I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. She was once mine and I screwed it up, but I know in time I'll gain her trust again, I just had to be patient because forgiving me for what I did was going to take time.
"Well A: he can't do anything about it; and B: ... what I just said." Siena didn't seem too impressed with my answer, but I was right Stefan couldn't do anything about Elijah while being stuck down there. Jeremy came into the room and sits down next to Elena. "Where is Bonnie?" I thought him and the witch were joint at the hip, I'm sure there something going on with the both of them.
"I thought she was meeting you." I couldn't help but rolled my eyes, the communication around here was ridiculous.
"No, she's on moonstone duty and I'm on suicide sister's patrol." Both of the girl's jaws dropped, then Siena playfully hit my leg. I looked at her and smiled, as I did her cheeks flush red and she instantly looked away trying to hide the fact I just made her blush, which I thought was adorable.
"And who's on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon?" Gilbert asked I turned to look at him, he was getting on my last nerve with the interrogation.
"Vampire Barbie asked me if she could handle it, and I said, why not? Figured if she screwed up, he'll bite her, and then I'll be rid of two of my problems." I didn't see the harm in it, she was willing to be around a vampire killing machine, who was I to stop her, and thinking about a Caroline Forbes free life sounded very appealing.
"Hold on a second. Tonight's the full moon?" Elena questioned, my phone began to ring I saw that it was Ric.
"Yep, but you were too absorbed with all your suicidal tendencies to notice." I got up and answered as I walked away from the girls. Now Elena wanted to worry about the whole full moon and Tyler changing, she was a little late with that one.
"What?" I couldn't believe what I just heard, Ric just informed me that questions have been going around about Mason Lockwood.
"Sheriff Forbes has officially declared Mason Lockwood a missing person." Wonderful that's all I need now on top of everything else that going on.
"What? Why?" I needed to know why this was going on now, I covered my track I made it all very convincing that he had just left town, why would Liz even look into this.
"Some girl from Florida showed up on the Lockwood's door step looking for Mason." Great probably a girlfriend or something, I seriously didn't need this on today of all days.
"What girl?" I needed more information about this girl, if she come here to stir up trouble I need to be clued up about what I'm dealing with.
"I don't know but she sure got everyone in a tizzy." I so don't need this right now, but I had to somehow figure out how to deal with this problem, looks like suicide sister watch gone down the list.
"That's not good. Where are you?" Ric could be my wingman on deal with this Mason problem that's come up, his pretty good at stuff like this.
"I'm at the Grill." I wasn't surprise to hear him say that he was there, well we have a few drinks before we come up with a way to deal with this new problem.
"I'm on my way" I hung up and walked back into the living room, Elena was still looking angry, while Jeremy looked amused, and Siena seemed deep in thought. "Change of plans. You babysit" Jeremy lays down on the couch, resting his head on Elena's lap, while Siena looked at me with a pleading expression. "Hey you know, you both should get out, enjoy the sun. Oh wait, you can't." I teased as I went to the front door Elena threw a cushion at me which totally missed me, I hear Jeremy laughing at Elena lame attempt.
"Damon." I heard Siena from behind me, I turned around to see her standing there with the same pleading expression as before. "You tell me that you love me, but you're keeping me here against my will like a prisoner." I knew this was getting to her, that not having any control on this situation was eating her up, how could I explain this to her without it turning into WW3.
"You might not understand my actions, but it's for your safety." Siena was about to walk away but I caught her arm stopping her from leaving, I just wanted her to understand my reason for going this far. "Siena, I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you." I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and left before she could say anything else, I think I made my feeling pretty clear to her about all this.
As I got in the car I reflected on Siena words of that I'm keeping her 'prisoner' I was doing it to help her and she can't see that? I guess this was a losing battle with her right now, I just hope she reflects on what I told her. I drove to the grill I parked up and heading in I saw Ric at the bar, I walked over to him. Ric gave me the run down on what's been happening and the girl he was talking about was at the bar talking to Matt.
"Mmmm, Mason's mystery woman." There was something about her that didn't sit right with me, she looked too shady.
"Where is Mason anyway?" I turned to Ric and he had this serious expression on his face, I put Mason where he would feel right at home.
"Decomposing in his truck." I thought in the woodlands would be the perfect place, and he practically lived in that trunk by the state it was in.
"So you think she is a werewolf?" Ric questioned, 80% of me was certain that she was, but if I was right about that we would have a huge problem tonight.
"Well I hope not, being that it's a full moon, Rick, but we should definitely find out." Good thing I came prepared for such an occasion, I pulled out small packet of wolfsbane from my pocket.
"What is that?" Ric frowned as he looked at the small package in my hand, Ric was all vampire hunter he didn't have any idea of what weaken werewolves.
"Wolfsbane." We needed to talk to this woman to find out for sure if she was a wolf, so we came up with a plan in order to find out. When she was alone at the bar Ric joined her with a drink, of course his going to pretend to be drunk, while I stood back and listen from distance with my vampire hearing.
"Well hello. Can I have a scotch and whatever this beautiful woman is drinking." Real smooth Ric, is she going to buy it? Well I guess I need to wait and see, she didn't look like the type to be buying into all this, here hoping I'm wrong.
"No, one is my limit." She laughed, but it was clearly a fake laugh, looks like Ric magic wasn't working so far.
"Oh come on, it's not like I'm a freak. I'm just being friendly to somebody who's new to town." She didn't look overly convince right now, she was a hard nut to crack maybe I should intervene, I was about to walk over but stopped as her expression changed into a smile.
"Okay, if you insist. How do you know I'm new?" This town was tiny everyone knew everyone, of course the fact that she stood out of the crowed.
"Because I've never seen you here before and I am here every night." Ric sound pathetic and is going to screw this up, I wasn't going to let him screw up our only chance, so I went over to the bar.
"Excuse me, is this guy bothering you?" I asked her politely, she turned to me and smiled, maybe if I use my charm I might actually break her, I'm irresistible to most women.
"I'm not bothering anybody." Ric answered drunkenly while trying to keep steady on his stool, he was doing some impressing acting. I raised my brow to indicate that it was time for him to leave. "Perfect. Well... Do it elsewhere." Ric looked at both us with a very convincing look of disbelief. "Don't worry, he's harmless. He's sort of the town drunk. And you know, when we get tired of him we just put him in a cab and send him back to wherever he came from." While I was talking to her, Ric puts wolfsbane in her glass, if she was a wolf one sip we would know, these stuff was like vervain, it would string like a bitch.
"Please don't talk about me like I'm not here" Ric spoke with annoyance in his voice as he gives the glass to her.
"Why are you here?" I snapped at him which took him by surprise, but he was going to mess this up if he didn't leave.
"Thank you for the drink" Ric raises his glass and leaves. Now it was time to find out if this girl was a wolf or not, I will soon find out and if she is, then I'm going to have a big issue on my hands.
Siena P.O.V
Being magically stuck in Elena house sucked in more ways than one, firstly I didn't like the way we were deceit by them testing us, secondly finding out the person who responsible for it was Damon. My stress levels were at all time high which isn't good for health reasons, but no matter how much I tried to reason with my head about all this those levels weren't going down. Elena obviously could see that with me being locked up like some caged animal in her home, I was going to wear out her flooring with my pacing. So she suggested to not see this as a bad thing and consider it as us having some quality time together, only Elena could turn this situation in to a positive. So what did we end up doing? Watching a movie. What movie? Funny enough Twilight break of dawn part two which I hadn't had the opportunity to watch yet, in all honestly I wasn't impressed with the final result. Like they missed so much out of the book, and I kept pointing out that fact during the movie, which I think in the end was starting to annoy Elena. This is the consequences of keeping me here against my will.
The whole Twilight concept of vampires are way off from the real thing that I've been around, can you image Damon and Stefan sparkling in the sunlight. Just thinking about that was just too funny, Stefan might be all okay with the sparking, but I didn't see Damon being happy with that. In all seriousness I love the whole Twilight saga, but when you're living in a world where vampires are real you kind of think of the movie as a joke. Now I totally understand why Damon found it offensive about me calling him Edward, just thinking about that moment made me burst into laughter. Which made Elena look at me strangely because there wasn't anything funny going on in the movie at that point.
"Do you wanna share the joke?" Elena asked a little intrigued, I tried to regain my composure before I could explain my actions.
"Just thinking about something that happened when I first met Damon." I turned to watch the TV and I could feel Elena still looking at me to elaborate by what I meant. "You're not going to stop staring until I tell you." I turned my head slight to see her shaking her head, well it looks like I have to spill the beans. "The first night I met Damon he strangely enough called me Bella, of course with the whole Twilight fad going on I thought he was talking about Bella in the movie." I couldn't help but smile as I reflected back on the memory. "Of course he wasn't, he was just calling me beautiful in Italian. So me being me I called him Edward, he was so not impressed." Elena busted into laughter after hearing that, it was defiantly a memory that won't fade away any time soon.
"Damon and Twilight don't mix, I remember when Stefan and I were having a movie night we were watching the first and second movie. All Damon kept on doing was cursing and commenting, actually just like you did." I could imagine Damon not being fully impressed with the Cullen's, with them being on a bunny diet and not embracing vampirism.
"I'll let you into a little secret, before I knew vampires were real, I always wanted my own sparkly vampire. Well my wish was granted, but I ended up with heartless kind in the name of Damon Salvatore." Elena gave me a disapproving look, which was kind of annoying, as she knew what he did and now she getting judgmental that I called him heartless.
"Siena you can't fool me I see how you look at him, you're in love him, and I see the same from him too." I really sucked at acting, maybe I should take up lesson or something, because I wasn't liking people reading like a book. "What Damon did was beyond unforgivable, but it's not down to me if he deserve forgiveness, that's your choice." She was right it was down to me if I chose to forgive him, but as she reminded me his actions were unforgivable. "I know that your both miserable without each other." I wanted to get off this subject because talking about my feeling for Damon right now was something I didn't want to do.
"Elena my mom having a fund raiser coming up and I need to go to New York, you know support her and I would really love it if you came too." I got off the bed, and I could see that Elena seemed a little confused with my change in conversations. "I know Stefan locked in the tomb and stuff but a few days away from Mystic Falls maybe good. Plus you can meet my parents and my friends, I really want them to get to know you." I could see she was contemplating, I really wanted her to come, but İf would understand if she didn't, I know with getting Stefan out of that tomb was her priority. I just thought a little time away and having a normal few days might clear her head.
"I would love to come, it will be great to see how your life is in New York. But why did you totally change the subject from you and Damon to that?" Caught red handed, if I attempted to change the subject again Elena will only press more about this Damon situation, time to come clean.
"Elena you wanna hear it. Yes I am in love with Damon, and I've not even told him that, even though he told me." Elena sat there with widen eyes, I guess hearing Damon confessed his love to me took her by surprise. "What he did to me Elena, I didn't expect it from him, I know you probably did. His different with me than he is with everyone else. I will admit that I miss him." I wanted to cry but I held my tears back, Elena face soften I think she understood where I was coming from. I wanted to hate him so much but it was like something inside me wouldn't allow me, was it because I was in love with him? I mean I was utterly in love with Nic but I let him go, so why couldn't I do that with Damon?
"Siena, your right he is different with you, he actually had remorse after what he did, and that isn't a normal Damon Salvatore thing." Elena got up from the bed and approached me, I guess she knew him better and for him to be showing remorse that was unheard of. "I just don't want you hurting because of his actions, I just wish I could help in some way, to be able to fix this for you." There wasn't anything Elena could do to fix this issue between Damon and I, the only people who could fix it was him and I. I don't know if that going to be possible, then again stranger things had happened.
"You can help me by killing Rose. I'm thinking a slow and painfully death, you probably know more about how to torture vampires than I do." Elena stood there looking at me a little horrified while I stood there with a smirk, of course I wasn't going to allow Elena to do such a thing. I wouldn't even do such a thing but the thought of killing Rose gave me a sense of bliss, a girl can dream.
"So not going to happen." Elena finally cracked a smile as she finally figured out I was actually joking. "I think Jenna back, she might entertain us with what going on with the outside world." It sounded like a plan, I wonder what going on in the outside world, and we both left her room made our downstairs to find Jenna searching through closet under the stairs.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Elena questioned, Jenna pocked her head out with flushed cheeks holding a heavy box.
"Perfect timing." Jenna handed Elena the box that she had in her arms, was she having a clear out or something?
"What is this stuff?" Elena looked confused, just as I was confused with these boxes stacked up with what seems like paper work of some kind.
"Your mom's files from the Historical Society, I got roped into helping Mrs Lockwood and by roped, I mean very excited to participate." She closes the closet door and Elena seemed startle by something, I followed her gaze as I did my eyes came in contact with someone I didn't expect to see again.
"Hey, I'm Elijah." I this guy for real? His just turning up at Elena home acting like it's a normal thing, right now I'm totally happy about being prisoner here.
"Elijah is in town doing research on Mystic Falls." Things are going from to worse, because he just walked into the house, a place that neither Elena nor I can run from. Oh I hope that Damon proud of himself, as we are sitting ducks for Elijah to take.
"It's a pleasure." He spoke in his formal voice, as she shook both of our hands, we had to play the didn't know him card without letting Jenna know she just invited un-killer able vampire in her home.
"So you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff or Elena and I could help you load it into your car." Jenna wasn't making this easy, Elena couldn't even leave through the front door, if I didn't say something Jenna might get freaked out about the little barrier Damon new witchy BFF had done.
"Or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow." Elijah spoke before I even opened my mouth, really his talking about tomorrow? Was Elijah planning on hanging around?
"Also a good plan." Jenna replied while Elena kept shifting nervously on her feet, talk about not make it obvious that she felt uncomfortable that Elijah was here.
"Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna, Elena... Siena it's been a pleasure to meet you too." He looks at me really strange like creepy, I really don't like this guy, something about him that didn't sit right with me. It had nothing to do with that he couldn't be killed or the fact that he worked for Klaus, I just had this feeling in the pit of my gut he knew a lot more about me than he left off. "I hope to see you again sometime soon." Elijah leaves, and Elena rushes upstairs I follow her to Jeremy's bedroom, she was about to knock on the door but Elijah catches her wrist, Jeremy opens the door and Elijah hide so Jeremy couldn't see him.
"What is it?" Jeremy practically shouted at Elena, she had to lie quick or Elijah would do something, I just stood there smiling.
"Jenna was just asking me to get you to help her with the boxes." Elena I'm proud of you that was believable lie, and Jeremy didn't look over impressed with the request.
"Okay." He closes the door, while Elijah was looking at the both of us, what did he want? Had he schemed his way into this house so he could take us?
"A wise choice." There was a slight tone of danger in his voice as he spoke, if he was trying to freak us out he was going the right way about it.
"What do you want?" I couldn't keep quite no longer, I needed to know why he made such an effort to get to know Jenna, to pretend to want to know the historical society, there was more to this and I wanted to know what it was.
"I think it's time we had a little chat." A chat? This chat better entail what the hell Klaus wants with me and what we can do to stop him.
Damon P.O.V
So it turns out that the girl looking for Mason is called Jules, she wasn't a really chatty person, and my charms didn't seems to be working. I thought it was Ric and his drunken ways that weren't working, but it seems that this girl don't take kindly to compliments. What was even more annoying is the fact she hadn't even touched the drink with the wolfsbane. Did she know? Of course she didn't, I hadn't heard a change in her heart beat to notice she knew what we were up to. So what was with the staling? I just wanted to know what we were dealing with, if she was a wolf I needed to kill her before the moon was at its peak. I just wanted to deal with this problem and go back to my other million and one problems that I have to deal with.
"There's a B&B down the road and there's a motel on I-90 but you know, if you ask me, it's kind of a mistake." Of course tell her of places she could stay was a way to make small talk, I needed her to warm up to me in some kind of way.
"No, its fine I'm just here for the night. It's a long story, I'm looking for my friend." I knew just the friend she was looking for and he was very dead. Time to play the concern citizen, let's see if that role works.
"Who?" Of course I had to play dumb, couldn't let her know I knew who she was.
"Mason Lockwood." There was something in her tone as she spoke his name that she wasn't just a friend. Well she didn't know her friend to well, because if she did she wouldn't of let him get mixed up with Katherine, cause she is the real reason behind his sudden death.
"I know Mason!" Her eyes lit up as soon as I told her that, Mason was a dick. I enjoyed every moment of torturing the hell out of him and ripped his heart out.
"You do?" She looked at me a little doubtfully, maybe she thought Mason weren't the type of guy who would be associated with me and she was right.
"Yeah. He's a great guy." This was killing me now great guy more like jack ass the guy tried to get Stefan and I killed so his little secret wouldn't come out.
"He's missing." I needed to give her my soft approach now, the worried friend act might work.
"What do you mean?" I swear I deserved an Oscar after this, this was too easy right now, maybe I should consider getting into Hollywood, have my name up in lights… I'm liking the sounds of that.
"How do you know Mason?" She asked turning to me, with a sceptical look on her face, this was like driving into a brick wall, I feel like I was getting somewhere then…. BAM!
"Friends of friends." That part was true, I glance at her and saw that she doesn't drink her drink again, I looked over at Ric, and we both held the same expression. We both knew that there was something that wasn't right here.
I've been sitting here trying to get information from Jules and she not letting up, and I don't know why she hadn't touch her drink she just keeps playing with the glass. Maybe she worried about Mason, well sweetie his dead and gone.
"You know, listen, I'm really tight with the sheriff. If there's anything I can do to help locate Mason, I will." Playing Mr Nice guy was really getting on my nerve, I just wanted to go with the old Damon integration method, but if I did that she was a werewolf, then I would have a problem. "He's a great guy, and after his brother's funeral, he stuck around and helped his nephew and—" Jules interrupted me in mid-sentence.
"Tyler?" How did she know about the mutt? Of course Mason must of mentioned him, there no need for me to start getting all paranoid.
"Yep Mason was with him the whole time helped him through all that grief." I looked down at her drink which was still untouched. "You haven't touched your drink." She looked down at the drink for a moment then back up at me.
"You know, I'm not much of a drinker I should get going." I wasn't going to let her go without knowing if she one of them.
"Oh, come on. Look, one drink." I told her and gave her my irresistible smile in hopes it would work like it does pretty much on all of the female population.
"It'll help me sleep." It will help me figure out if I need to give you a flea bath, we both picked up our drink.
"To sleep." I raised my glass to her, but she sniffs the glass and sets it back on the bar.
"You fool you think you're clever, don't you?" Well actually I did but go figure! Seem that all this time I was talking to a flea bag doggie.
"What do you want with Mason Lockwood?" She sat there clenched her jaw tightly, I guess she didn't like this side of me, if she had fess up before she wouldn't be seeing my bad side.
"He's my friend." She snapped as she got up from the stool, there was more to this than she's making out and I'm going to call her out on it.
"Well, I'm sorry to inform you that you probably won't find him." I called out to her as she started to walk away, I might as well give her the heads up.
"And why not?" She asked glaring at me, I wasn't going to give her any more information, she just needed to get her ass out of my town.
"You should leave town." I threaten her; I needed her to get out of town and go back to where the hell she came from.
"You're threatening me? On a full moon? How stupid are you?" She raised her voice at me which was something I didn't like in the slightest, before I could speak Ric came over now.
"Damon, how about that second round?" I knew he was trying to calm the situation down but it was past that, I wasn't going to play nice no longer.
"I think we're done, Ric." I looked at Jules who stood there with fierce look upon her face, like I was meant to be scared of her. "You think I'm afraid of you?" She stood there with this smirk on her face.
"No, I don't. That's your vampire arrogance, you should be. I sniffed you out the moment you entered this bar, along with your pathetic wolfsbane." I was a little surprise to learn that all this time I had been played and that didn't sit right with me. "I've been at this a long time, and any other night of the month, the situation would be reversed, but tonight is not the night to pick a fight with me. You've been marked." She threaten before leaving, I looked at Alaric he gave me a shrug. I can't believe that were-bitch just threaten me... I'm freaking Damon Salvatore, who the hell did she think she was telling me I'm marked! I'm going show how I ripped out her friend heart, I walked out, and Ric followed
"Where is she?" I demanded, as I walked out of the grill, she wasn't anywhere in sight, how the hell did she get away that quick.
"Just let it go, Damon. Don't be stupid" Ric pleaded, I turned to him he really expected me to just leave it? No that wasn't my style, I wasn't going to let her threaten me and get away with it.
"So what? Just let her get away? 'You've been marked' what the hell kind of wolf throw-down crap is that anyway?" I was raging right now all I wanted to do was kill her, not just rip her heart out, but I wanted to tear her apart.
"Damon, look up! Just look up." I looked up the full moon was shining bright in the sky. "If this werewolf stuff is true, one bite and you're dead. One bite! Alright? Don't risk it. Just go home, lock your doors and we'll deal with it in the morning." Ric was right I can't get myself killed, focus Damon remember you have a reason to live now and her name is Siena Russo. I gave Ric a nod to say I agreed.
"Yeah" I told him, he had a point there was no point in risking it all tonight, I can get her any other night when she was vulnerable.
I headed to my car and got in and drove back to the boarding house, as soon as I walked in I locked the door, Ric was right for tonight I needed to keep safe. I walked into the library and Rose was sitting in one of the chairs, why is she back? Something tells me that she defiantly had the hot's for me, well she's out of luck cause the only girl I want is Siena. I'm trying to win her back and I'm not going to mess it up, so I'm not going to do anything that will jeopardize that.
"You just can't stay away, can you?" I teased as I walked further into the room, it was like she couldn't get enough. If she thinks for a second everything was going to be between us then she had another thing coming, after leaving us behind to deal with Elijah.
"You don't answer your phone." I guess some women would take that as a hint, I wanted nothing to do with her after her disappearing act.
"What do you want?" I wasn't in the mood for this not after what had happened, I wasn't in the nicest of moods right now.
"I wanted to apologize." Is that the lie she was going to feed to me, no she didn't she had nowhere to go.
"Just admit it, you don't have anywhere else to go." I watched as her face dropped slightly, the only reason for that because she knew I was right. She got up from her sit and began to approach me, probably stating her plea, well I wasn't in the mood to hear it.
"I'm sorry about Siena and Elena I wasn't thinking straight. I didn't know that they both had a death wish but I called you, I tried to make it right, okay?" I don't think any of us knew what length those two would go to, but that don't make up for her taking them there, she could of call me sooner. "I'm sorry, Damon. And I have nowhere else to go." Just as I expected and I didn't want to hear her excuses anymore.
"There's nothing here for you, Rose." I didn't want her here not just because of what happened yesterday, but because Siena hated her, and if I wanted to make up with Siena then Rose had to be gone.
"Well, then—" She began to say but stopped as ,we heard something. We went in the living room to investigate the first thing I saw was the window shatters as a wolf lunges into the parlour. I grabbed a sword hanging on the wall and swung it out to stab it, but Rose pushed me out of the way. I fell to the floor as I got up I saw the wolf jump on her, pushing her on her back on the floor, then chomps down on her shoulder. I stab the wolf with the sword, and the wolf flees the way it came.
"How bad is it?" I was in full panic mode, I still couldn't believe she jumped in front of me to save me.
"It hurts." She wince as she moved her shoulder, I watches the bite heal in front of my eyes.
"It's healing." I heard her sigh in relief, so it was all bogus about their bite being so deadly, I mean if it was it would held.
"Oh my God, I thought a werewolf bite was fatal! I thought..." She starts to cry and I hugged her, it was the least I could do after she practically saved my life.
"You're gonna be okay." I felt bad for her, the whole wolf bite will kill a vampire must be all bull, I mean I saw it heal in front of my eyes, Rose kept crying. I didn't know what else to do but comfort her that the lest I could for her.
Siena P.O.V
So Elijah wanted to have a chat, I wasn't too sure about this, I just kept getting this feeling not to trust him. Then again he was the only link to Klaus and I had to think about the people who mattered to me and their lives. I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to my parents not forgetting Blair, but if he had come here to take us, I knew I would leave with regrets. I hate the fact that I was still fighting with Damon, that if I didn't see him again he wouldn't ever know how I felt about him. Then there was my parents they would go out of their minds if I just disappear off the face of the earth. While I was trying to process all this in my mind panic mode kicked in, I don't know what I was panicking because less than 24 hours ago I was ready to hand myself over. Then again that was my choice and right now the choice might be taken from me.
There was an awkward silence in the room as the three of us stood there looking at one another, Elijah kept staring at me in the same way as he did downstairs. It wasn't creeping me out as much now, it was strange the way he was looking at me was kind like he knew me. It was the kind of you would give when you see a relative after so many years, they look all grown up kind of look. I know for a fact I've never seen Elijah before in my life, there was no way in hell we were related. Maybe it's because I looked like Klaus lost lover, or whatever, but he really needed to stop doing it.
"Forgive the intrusion. I mean your family no harm." He meant no harm? So why turn up at the freaking door step? Why couldn't he just leave us the hell alone?
"Why did you kill those vampires when they tried to take us?" I thought might as well get straight to the point, he did want to bring us to Klaus in the first place, so why stop those guys.
"Because I didn't want you both to be taken, Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval." Well his painting an interesting picture of Klaus, I really want to meet this guy now more than ever. "If word gets out that the doppelgänger and dimidium Sanguinis exists, there'll be a line of vampire's eager to take you to Klaus, and I can't have that." I was trying to take in what he had just said, I knew that Elena was known as Katherine doppelgänger, but what the hell was a Dimidium Sanguinis?
"Ermm what the hell is Dimidium Sanguinis?" Now we had to go looking for this Dimidium Sanguinis? Great Klaus didn't want much to gain power, go he was a jerk. I notice that he didn't mention about his lover, maybe it's a mistake about him wanting me then.
"Siena you are Dimidium Sanguinis." I was taken back by this new name that I was being called, well it sounded better than being called him lover. That thought just made me cringe. "It roughly translated in to English means half-blood." So now I'm a half blood? What did that even mean? I'm half of what? God my head was going to explode soon because this supernatural stuff was mind blowing.
"Okay... So what is a half-blood? I'm used for some crazy ritual I'm part of a curse" I was rambling as I spoke because right now I didn't know what he wanted me for, was I meant to die like it's been written for Elena?
"Siena, who and what you are is extremely complicated. I couldn't allow those men to take you to him." Elijah had me even more worried now, why was it so important to him that I wasn't taken to Klaus. Why couldn't he just be straight and tell me what the hell it meant to be a Dimidium Sanguine.
"Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do, take us to him?" Finally Elena had a voice, and she was right he was ready to take us when the vampire that can't keep her legs closed and her creep friend kidnapped us.
"Let's just say that my goal is not to break the curse." He spoke firmly while looking at Elena, then focusing his attention to me. "I certainly do not want Klaus to have Siena in his possession." Ok so he was protecting us, well that another vampire to add to roster of protecting us. There was more to this than Elijah was letting on, why was he hell bent to stop the curse? Why was he going to make sure I wasn't in Klaus possession?
"So, what is your goal?" I wanted to know what he was getting out of this, protecting us didn't seems like the objective to me. There was more to this and I wanted to know what Elijah agenda was.
"Klaus's obsession has made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trusts only those in his immediate circle." Paranoid and recluse, wow Klaus sound like the perfect guy that anyone would want to hang out with. So he only trusted a few, and I'm guessing witch 1 and 2 were part of that as they were there only ones coming in and out of the compound that apparently Klaus was in.
"Like you?" Elena questioned, and it was a good question, I looked to Elijah who stood there looking solemnly, like Elena had touched some kind of neve.
"Not anymore." He actually sounded sad as he spoke, I couldn't help but I rolled my eyes, one thing I've learnt is that these vampire always have an agenda. Something tells me that Elijah has one that he isn't willing to share.
"You don't know where he is, do you? So you're trying to use us to draw him out." l had some idea where he was but was I going to let that spill, that would mean putting Xander endanger and that's something I wouldn't do, I don't trust Elijah enough to give him that information.
"Well, to do that I need you both to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed." He spoke harshly as he looked at the both of us, who he to dictate what we do. We didn't know this guy and now we were meant to put our lives into his hands? No it wasn't going to be that easy for him.
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" I was convinced that he is hiding something, I didn't know whether to believe him or not.
"If I wasn't being truthful, all your family would be dead and I'd be taking you both to Klaus right now. Instead, I'm here and I'm prepared to offer you a deal" he spoke more calm now; wow a deal what kind of deal though?
"What kind of a deal?" Elena got in there with the question before I could, this should be interesting, if there negotiation we both needed to know what the stakes were.
"Do nothing. Do nothing, live your life, stop fighting and then, when the time is right, the both you and I shall draw out Klaus together and I shall make sure your friends remain unharmed." This all sounded a little too good to be true, with us carrying on with our lives then becoming bate for Klaus. I want to know what happens after Klaus makes his grand appearance.
"And then what?" Where him and Klaus going to be BFF again, have a laugh and joke that his finally got the two things that has been searching for?
"Then I kill him." Elijah spoke confidently, he really thought it was going to be cut dry like that, we get Klaus out of whatever hole his been hiding and he just kill him? This Klaus is meant to be one scary dude, he was an original vampire something tells me it's not going to be as simple as Elijah is explaining.
"Just like that?" Elijah looked at me with arch brow, I guess he didn't like to be questioned, but this wasn't his life he was playing with, it was our lives, our families and friends lives. That might not mean much to him but it meant a great deal to us.
"Just like that I'm a man of my word, Siena. I make a deal, I keep a deal." There was sincerity in his voice as he spoke, a part of me want to believe him, but how could one man protect everyone?
"How are you gonna be able to keep everybody safe?" Elena asked another good question, it was like she literally read my mind.
"I notice you have a friend; Bonnie, is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic I have friends with similar gifts." He stood there with a smirk, aww it seems that Elijah has friends... that real shocking considering he wasn't the most welcoming of people.
"You know witches." I thought witches didn't like vampires, or was that just a Bonnie and Damon thing?
"Together, we can protect everybody that matters to you both so, do we have a deal?" He asked as he looked from Elena to me, I didn't know if this was good idea. I mean talking about it seemed pretty much full proof but would it all play out like that?
"I need you to do one more thing for me." Elena requested, what would she want from Elijah? I mean the guys practically said he gonna keep everyone safe.
"We're negotiating now?" He raised his brow, Elena had something up her sleeve, and something told me it was going to work to our advantage.
Stefan P.O.V
I may have been in this tomb for a day but god it feels like eternity already, Katherine was annoying the hell out of me with her manipulating ways. She went as far to mess around with my dreams by making me dream Damon and Elena together, she was still playing that game. Watching them together touched a nerve, but that soon faded as Katherine really had no idea about Damon feeling for Siena. Damon was in love with her, since his stupid actions he been lost, would Siena forgive him? Well I guess we will see over time, but from what I heard yesterday it's seems that Damon was on Siena road of forgiveness.
Damon came here this morning with a few essential item that I would need during my time being here, one of them was a bottle of blood. Of course I couldn't keep that in here because I would have to give some to Katherine, and it wouldn't been out choice she would have whined until I gave in, that something I don't need while I was here. It was hard not to look at her and think about Elena, hearing how upset she was about me being locked in here was heart breaking. I did what I had to do to save Jeremy, he wouldn't have survived in here not with the way Katherine was draining him. I knew Elena would be even more devastated if her brother was stuck in here, I just had to ride this out until Damon found a way to get me out of here. I had no idea how long that would be, but I knew he wouldn't rest until he did. I guess the one thing that put my mind at ease was the fact that both Elena and Siena were trapped in her house, there was no way they could get into any trouble now. From what Damon told me they were both on a mission on getting themselves killed, right now I'm so grateful that my brother and I are on the same page.
"Are we seriously not going to talk at all?" I looked over at her as she stood there looking bored, I didn't save Jeremy life so she would have cell mate she could talk to. Did she really think that I was going to forgive everything that she had done?
"We could talk about how you regret all you've done to make my life miserable." From the moment that my eyes set on Katherine Pierce, everything in my life had gone terribly wrong. Starting with my relationship with Damon, and everything else just unravelled from there.
"What do you want me to say, Stefan?" She spoke as she walked over to where I was sitting. "That I'm sorry for everything that I've done? Well I'm not, okay? It's called self-preservation. I've been looking out for myself for 500 years." Katherine was all about herself, no one else matters. That's why she had lived a very lonely life for the last 500 years, and her little sob story wasn't going to work on me.
"Look where it has gotten you." It actually didn't get her far, she been running and she always ended up alone, what kind of life is that?
"Yes, I've done terrible things I know that, but I do love you, Stefan. Even if you don't believe it." I couldn't help but roll my eyes, she always claims to love me Katherine wouldn't even know where to start to love someone.
"You want me to believe you? Show me. Do something. Prove to me that there's something inside of you that's actually worth trusting." I knew she couldn't but maybe Katherine might prove me wrong, stranger things had happened.
"And then what? You're still gonna hate me." That was very true, I couldn't forgive her for the wicked stuff she had done, but I can be a forgiving person. Was Katherine willing to prove that I could gain her trust once again?
"Maybe and maybe I'll see that there's still hope for you after all." She stood there frowning, I could tell she thinking about the possibility for once in her life to be straight up.
"You're playing me." She wasn't willing to take the risk, but what's the point of living a life without taking risk.
"Am I?" I told her, trying to hide my smirk, she was so used to be the one who manipulated now the shoes on the other foot she was finding it very awkward.
"You want to find Klaus? Kill him so that you can protect your precious Elena?" Of course, Elena is all I cared about but I was concerned about Siena too, but I knew she had Damon who will protect her no matter what.
"Let me guess: you know where he is." She had been on the run all these years she had to have some kind of idea where Klaus was, Katherine like to be two steps ahead.
"No, I don't, but I could help you find him." Well I was wrong about that, once again she bargaining, Katherine will never change, and she wouldn't be helping with the kindness of her heart.
"For a price I'm sure." Everything was for a price with Katherine, she didn't care about Elena or Siena, all she was concerned about was herself, a way to get away from Klaus before he came for the girls.
"Start with Isobel, their mother, she was a research expert she found me." Could Isobel be the link in finding Klaus? I don't know how the girls would take to seeing her, I mean the family reunion with Elena didn't turn out great. Then there Siena who doesn't even know that Isobel a vampire, a heartless one at that. Even though all this was negative, something told me it was going to be my only option. "You're welcome." Katherine spoke proudly, as she did we heard the stone door of the tomb moving, we both look at each other before going to the entrance. To my surprise there was Elijah, I thought he was dead, Damon stake him. How is it possible for him to be alive? I looked at Katherine she looked frightened, something tells me they probably have bad history. "Elijah." She spoke his name fearfully, which confirmed she knew him.
"Good evening Katarina. Thank you for having the good sense to be frightened." He warned her before turning to face me. "Your release has been requested." Did I hear him right? Who would have got Elijah to get me out of here?
"What? By who?" I asked who could have done this, I didn't see Damon asking Elijah to do this, so who would of asked him?
"The lovely sisters, they do drive a hard bargain." I stood there stunned by this news. Elena and Siena requested this? "However, we reached a peaceful agreement, they and I. Please." He gestures for me to walk out of the tomb "Come." I couldn't just walk out of here the spell wouldn't allow me to do that, maybe Elijah wasn't aware of that.
"I can't." Elijah stood there with this smug look upon his face, was this some kind of game to him?
"Yes, you can. I've had the spell lifted." I began to walked out slowly and I was free, what had Elena and Siena agreed with Elijah to get me out of the tomb? I am actually worried now. Katherine rushes to get out too, but Elijah blocks the entrance he compels her. "As for you however, you should not exit until I say so. When Klaus comes, he'll want to know exactly where you are" It looked like that Elijah had compelled her to stay, but that couldn't be possible, vampires can't compel other vampires. Katherine looked horrified in hearing she couldn't leave, he looked over at me "You're free to go. Elena will explain the arrangement to you. If she and Siena keeps their word, I'll keep mine." Before I could even say anything Elijah was gone.
"Stefan, no please don't let him leave me in here" Katherine pleaded. There was no way in hell I was going to help her get out of that tomb, she can stay there and rot until Klaus comes and does what he needs to do.
"Goodbye Katherine." I didn't care what ever happened to her. I left and rushed my way to Elena house I wanted to see her and hug her hold her in my arms, and find out what this deal is her and Siena had made.
Damon P.O.V
I know that Jules said I was marked but I don't think she was that brave to actually storm into my home, so before I did anything I needed to confirm that it was actually her. I knew that Caroline was watching over Tyler with his first transformation, so I gave her a call to see if the mutt escaped. It was no secret that Tyler and I don't like each other and with him being a werewolf I wouldn't put it past him to attempt to attack me off guard. When I finally got through to Caroline she informed me that Tyler was locked up the whole time, which means that it was down to one person and that was Jules. She going to pay for coming into my home and attacking us, I'm going to have some fun putting that dog down.
I was concerned about Rose, I mean she literally saved me from something that could have been fatal, I didn't know what to say about it. I mean I was being a jerk to her telling her to leave before this all happened, and then she goes and saves me from getting bit. Well she is fine it was all a myth so there nothing to actually worry about. I guess I better update her on what I knew and work out a plan on how to take down Jules, I'm sure Rose will be up for a bit torturing.
"I talked to Caroline. She said Tyler was all locked up." I spoke as I entered the room, she was taking a sip of her drink, she seemed okay all considering thank god.
"So it was Jules. The other werewolf, the one who attacked you." Yeah it looks that way, with her threating that I marked, well now she marked and I plan to make her death a slow and painful one.
"Yeah I'm sorry. I picked a fight with her she was coming after me" I actually felt guilty now, if I hadn't of said the things I said this wouldn't have happened, then again Rose is fine. Jules just given me more ammo to go after her now.
"All's well that ends well." I knew she said to try and lighten the mood, and I might as well go with it. I walked over to her to see if the wound that she had gotten was still okay.
"You're all healed?" I said as I looked at her shoulder, you wouldn't even know she was even bitten which is a great sign.
"Yeah seems that way." I was actually happy that she was ok; it was my fault it happened to her, I couldn't deal with the guilt of her dying from a bite that was meant for me.
"Rose... I'm happy that the legend was fake, maybe the werewolves made it up to keep vampires away." Rose seemed fine it had to be a story they made up so we didn't mess with them, well now I knew the truth and I'm going on a mission to lick some werewolf ass.
"Lucky me." She touched my hand while she held this serious expression on her face. "I'm gonna stay and help you." Help me? What did she plan to help me with?
"Help me do what?" I was confused right now with what she meant, after everything she's done I think she would be safer to leave.
"Save Siena, protect Siena, all things Siena." I was really taken by surprise that she was willing to do whatever it took to keep Siena safe. I mean Siena would attempt to kill her if she went anywhere near her, and Rose knows that, but she was still willing to do whatever it took to keep her safe.
"Really? Why?" I really wanted to know why, I mean Rose wasn't stupid she clearly knew that Siena hated her guts, so why would she even want to protect her from Klaus.
"Because I like you I believe in friendship, I happen to have a vacancy in that department, and you can use all the friends you can get." I raised my brow did she really mean friends, because that all I can be to her, I really can't have any complications anymore. My main focus was on wining Siena back and making sure that she didn't do anything stupid like hand herself to Klaus.
"Just friends." I wanted to make it clear that all it would ever be between us, I don't know how Siena did but she stole my heart, not that minded because I saw a future with her as long as I didn't continue to screw up of course.
"Just friends." Rose gave me a small smile, but there was something about her tone that didn't convince me that she meant what she said.
"Are you sure you can do that?" I knew that she had grown some feeling for me that was apparently, I didn't want the situation to become more complicated than it needed to be.
"I don't love men who love other women. I think more of myself than that." She smiles then she looks at her shoulder. "Ow" Rose yelps in pain, I looked at her shoulder to see open sores and blisters where she was bitten, the veins and arteries in the area look blackened and diseased. We looked at one another with fear in our eyes, this wasn't good sign, I don't think werewolf bite is a myth.
